EXCLUSIVE – FREE MP3 OF SALOME’S “WITH HELL FOR A MOUTH”
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 at 2:00pm by MetalSucks
Salome, who just might be our favorite modern doom metal band on the planet, are about to hit the road with Hull and Batillus as part of the Beard Destroyer Tour 2009 (Best tour moniker ever? We think so!). The band also recently completed a split with Thou (cover art above), which is being mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, OLD, Sunn O))), Isis, etc.) and should be out on Vendetta Records in the next couple of months.
But why wait a couple of months when you can hear some new shit right this very second? The band has been cool enough to graciously allow us to debut a brand new track, “With Hell for a Mouth,” as a free download. Like all Salome, the song is slow like honey and crushing like an anvil, with Kat’s inimitable vocals from the bowels of hell bolstering the performance of guitarist Rob Moore and drummer Aaron Deal. It also marks the next evolutionary step for Salome, as it features slightly brighter production than their EP and even has – gasp! – some sections that are kinda bouncy. It is, in a word, awesome.
Download the song, absolutely free, below. Then, after the jump, get dates for the Beard Destroyer Tour 2009. You need to see Salome live; they are truly otherworldly.

I do not know Salome but Sole Lord is my favorite album of the year and I look forward to being able to put more money in Hull’s pockets.
pretty good song very good band.
might go see these guys just cause they are playing with HULL in Chicago
and yes THOU fucking kills
I love Doom metal but I can not get into this band. I find them to be derivative, and extremely boring. Electric Wizard is a far more original band and they too have a female vocalist.
Electric Wizard doesn’t have a female vocalist, she plays guitar.
You’re right. I meant guitarist. Anyway it doesn’t diminish what I said. EW is still a far better band than Salome.
And the emo album cover of the day goes to…
I can’t tell if it’s male or female. I don’t think I want to know.
An anus is an anus. No questions asked.
Best fucking band ever. At this point, I have to admit that I have a massive crush on every member of Salome (Aaron Deal’s beard included). also, Thou are the other best fucking band ever.
This song rules. Also, Kim Kelly rules.
fuck yes !!!!!! this song kicks you in the balls and leaves you wanting more
I’d go to the Indy show but its at a bar and I’m only 18. :-(
well it still can’t beat EW..
